Earlier this month, Elliot Page best known for his Academy Award-nominated role in Juno, penned a powerful letter on his social media channels, coming out as transgender. “Hi friends, I want to share with you that I am trans, my pronouns are he/they and my name is Elliot.
I feel lucky to be writing this. To be here. To have arrived at this place in my life,” he wrote. “I feel overwhelming gratitude for the incredible people who have supported me along this journey.
I can’t begin to express how remarkable it feels to finally love who I am enough to pursue my authentic self.” Elliot’s openness about his gender identity was met with broad support.
